Learn MoreMyra Malik is a curious, imaginative 5-year-old artist who creates from both heart and observation. Her work blends bold colors, storytelling, and pattern, often inspired by nature, space, and everyday moments she notices adults miss. She paints, draws, and builds with fearless experimentation, turning mistakes into new ideas. Art is how Myra processes emotions, asks questions, and connects with others—her creativity is joyful, empathetic, and uniquely her own.
Who or what inspires Myra to create?Myra is inspired by the world around her — the colors of the sky, the patterns in leaves, stories of astronauts and inventors, and the emotions she sees in people. She draws inspiration from nature, space, music, and her everyday experiences. Watching her mom build technology and solve problems also sparks her imagination, showing her that creativity can change the world. For Myra, inspiration lives everywhere, and she turns it into art.
What is Myra's favorite art form?Myra’s favourite art form is painting and mixed-media storytelling. She loves working with bright paints, blending colors, and then layering her pieces with drawings, stickers, and textures to bring her ideas to life. She enjoys how painting lets her express big feelings and bold imagination, while mixed media gives her freedom to experiment, explore, and build entire worlds through art.
